Brick - 10 Min Extract

For this film we had to identify the conventions of a thriller and how are the characters are introduced. We studied a 10 minute extract.
Brick:
Conventions:

• Slow paced start to the film

Camera:

• The close op shots of a till thing such at the bracelet added mystery to the opening sequence 

Editing:

• Ruminate in the boys face as the girl is on the floor

Mise-en-scene:

• The main character is acting in a surprising way, this also ties in with the setting of the opening sequence
• Set in a school + sewer, this sets up an enigma - What? Who? Why? Where?

Sound:

• Non-diagetic sound to open the film
• Sound bridge carried on from the opening scene to the second scene
